I though they called the whole stand? It only seats 3k?

Only the upper tier is closed. As it seats around 3,500 and the previous capacity is 42,600, the new capacity is just over 39,000.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but does anybody know what the maximum capacity is now?

Just over 39,000.

After 70+ flights, mostly in economy, the way I think of it is - the seats are meant to be reclined but are in a temporary upright position for take off and landing. Whilst the seat in front of me is upright the person sitting in it is lending me a few inches of his space, so I don't mind if he reclines when he chooses. It's a mindset that has served me well on a few dozen economy flights where individual space is tight. I do think it's polite to recline in a slow steady movement so the person behind isn't surprised. I have increasingly found that many short haul flights have economy seats that don't recline (presumably to avoid arguments from those who don't grasp the point of my first two sentences), and on long haul flights I pay extra not to sit in economy, so reclining isn't an issue.

I've seen Grealish dribble the ball and then cleanly hit a long pass that isn't scuffed so I don't know why he doesn't treat the shot as if he's hitting a 40 yard pass in to the net. Am I over simplifying it?

Problem is, because of how interactive he is, he is going to get trolled non stop. I hope he doesn't make a huge mistake one day.

I hope everyone appreciates the information in his tweets is given in an honest faith. For example, if Tony says we are expecting the arrival of a certain player and the player doesn't sign, I accept that even with the club's best efforts, it sometimes happens. Provided most of Tony's snippets, turn out to be on the money, I think he has the right to ignore any 'But you said..." trolls.

GoMo.

I had hoped tweets of this nature had ended

Each to their own. I'm enjoying the honesty of Tony's interjections. They're not too cryptic either!

I think to be honest it may be a case of mis-translation. Lescott wants to stay in Manchester with his family according to Warburton - which are personal reasons. Xia said it was personal too. Storm in a teacup whatever

I think Tony is disappointed Rangers gave an untruth to the media instead of stating that the club and player couldn't agree terms 'for personal reasons'.

Erm...what?

Rangers blaming a failed medical instead of admitting they had moved the goal posts on Lescott's contract offer.

Over weight are you kidding?? 

As muscle is denser, therefore heavier, than fat, I expect Adama to be heavy for his size. Not sure that qualifies him as overweight though!

Is Maclaren any good?

Used to be quick but now tends to be slow and unreliable.

Good psrformamce. Really thought he'd done too much with ball before slotting it in.

 

Some fans will not give him credit... Morons behind me today, were singing "average jack" when everyone was singing super jack, then when he scored they sat down and said I'm not cheering that as he's a word removed

Leave them to it. Some people enjoy hanging their hat on negativity. Let's hope they spend much of this season sat on their behinds!

Maybe keep him as an option for off the bench like today? Or use him as a rotation player, perhaps rotating with Grealish or Ayew?

Depending on the game in play, I would keep him as a sub for the next half dozen games. Hopefully he'll get a few half hours to prove he's worth a starting place.

Better?

 

 

Better. One minute you're an OAP, the next you're a baby. Impressive. Jedinak is somewhere in the middle, right?

Your specs age you.

Good signing. Hopefully only a 2 year deal though

At 32, I expect he'll be pushing for as long a contract as possible as it is likely to be his last contract on good pay. Wouldn't surprise me if he asks for 4 years and settles on 3 years as a compromise.

Tony with the Hermes belt, now I'm convinced he's got the cash.

Why would a 'billionaire' be wearing part of a courier's uniform?

I note the 'on loan' tag to this thread. Is this wishful thinking?

Is he actually fit?

Barely played in pre season so really can't see him being thrown in v Sheff Weds when Bacuna and Hutton are at least fit and playing regularly.

Fit for football? He could be the 'beep test' king and plenty would say no.
